58 From Vision to Reality

59 Revise the Unified Development Ordinance Encourage non-residential land uses to achieve a more sustainable, balanced tax base in Apex. Support additional residential development at varying densities based on the 2030 Land Use Map.

60 Conduct and adopt detailed, special studies or small-area plans for key activity centers: Downtown Midtown 55 Center Street/Schieffelin Road Initiate a Town Sign Master Plan to provide uniform wayfinding to major destinations.

61 Accommodate a mix of housing by type (e.g., single-family, townhomes, multifamily) and tenure (own/rent) to serve a growing and increasingly diverse population. Consider starting an Neighborhood Improvement Grant program that provides matching funds for aging neighborhoods without Homeowner Associations and for those with expired covenants.

62 Preserve access and visibility for large parcels that could be developed as employment centers or mixed-use communities on key transportation corridors such as US-64, NC-55, Old US-1 and Jessie Drive. Complete the Apex Peakway to relieve downtown traffic pressure and provide access to infill commercial and residential development sites.

63 Prepare a Strategic Economic Development Plan that addresses the following: Inventory & analysis of existing businesses and industry Analysis of competitive advantage for Apex Identification of target industries for Apex Strategies for increasing percentage of people who live and work in Town Downtown development strategy

64 Initiate a study to identify mechanisms to fund the completion of the Apex Peakway. Build organizational support for bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Apex. Establish a bicycle and pedestrian citizen advisory committee.

65 Continue to direct capital investments to activity centers to support development and redevelopment consistent with the 2030 Land Use Map. Establish an administrative position working interdepartmentally dedicated to expanding the Capital Improvements Planning program.

66 Continue to assess public facility needs to meet demand generated by existing, as well as future, growth and development. Identified future needs include: Town Campus Building 3 Public Works, Electrical Division Relocation Senior Center Historic Tunstall House renovation

67 Implement recommendations of the recently updated Parks, Recreation, Greenways & Open Space Master Plan. Develop standards for the co-location of greenways within utility easements.

68 Promote the use of green building techniques and rainwater capture systems in new developments. Promote the development of a healthier tree canopy in all areas of Apex, especially downtown. Educate the public. Consider using only non-invasive native and adaptive species in Town-funded projects. Where feasible, bury utility lines along public streets or investigate options to move lines to less conspicuous locations.

69 Inventory potential future properties not currently designated or on a registry for future designation. Develop a historic marker program to identify area resources and to educate the public on the history of Apex as well as create an understanding of the communities surrounding Apex such as Friendship, New Hill, and Green Level.
